Jelle Van Damme
41-Year-Old
Free Agent
Officially leaves MLS
Van Damme transferred to Royal Antwerp on Friday after a $235,000 transfer from the Los Angeles Galaxy.
ANALYSIS
Van Damme has been one of the best central defenders in Major League Soccer during his time with the Galaxy, but a desire to be closer to his family will see him move back to Belgium. His absence leaves a gaping hole in the Galaxy back line, with Dave Romney possibly taking his starting spot.
